tutional methods and BY an appeal to th
recollections of the war and to the prejudi
ces growing out of slavery, they have com
bined, in a solid political force, all the lat
slaveholding states with the free trade an
disappointed elements of the north, and thu
have made possible a reactionary movemen
against National policy Of progress AM
development and the election of Mr.. Cleve
land. What has been the result of thi
movement! What good has been done t
any state or section by the administration
of Grover Cleveland!
1T was said III the canvass Of 1884 tina
they wanted to turn the rascals out 1t wa
represented that frauds and peculation
were going on in the Republican administra
tions, and that the books should be exam
ined and the thieves turned out. The frs
act Of the new administration was to exam
inc the books and they have been engaged il
that duty every since; but the books wer,
found to be correct. There were no rascal
to turn out, and, unlike what occurred il
previous Democratic administrations, theIN
was not financial officer of the government
In any department of it but what settled hi
accounts without delay, and paid over TIN
money found due. There was not single de
faulter, thief or rascal to turn out. We
have more Democratic county treasurer'
as defaulters in Ohio than we have had IL
the vast treasury service of the United
States. What compliment this to the
Republican administrations and what 6
comment it is on the infamous calumny
by which the Democratic party came into
power.n
Senator Sherman reviewed the financial
condition brought about by the present ad-
ministration, showing the immense balances
boarded up in spite of the Democratic prom
ises before the election of Cleveland, that
the surplus was to be distributed so that the
money would not be boarded from the peo-
pie. He showed that there was in the United
States treasury on August 81, 1887, five
hundred and sixty-one millions of dollars,
far greater sum than was in the treasury
at any time in 1884, when the Democrats
we're complaining about the large surplus,
and claiming that there should be a change
of administration on account of it Senator
Sherman continued as follows:
snow mark it, my friends, | do not COM
plain that large sums arc held in the treas
ury, because | know that a large portion of
this money is held by the government in
trust for others, as, for the redemption of
notes Of National banks, in process Of hqui-
dation, and much Of it is represented by
gold and silver certificates outstanding and
in circulation, and $500, ,000, 900 of it is q
